"Aetion will leverage proprietary multi-criterial decision-making technology, SFVM, that can be used for generating and evaluating a very large number and range of manufacturing alternatives in parallel, efficiently finding the best options from among them,and presenting the results to the user so… More

"To maximize situational awareness, while minimizing cognitive overload, automated abductive inference (best-explanation reasoning) will be used to create a changing, "best interpretation" representation of the situation from incoming data. Modeling andsimulation will be used by the abductive… More

"Aetion Technologies LLC will study the feasibility of applying its SFV decision-support technology to visualization of modeling and simulation processes. The technical and scientific merit will be assessed of applying SFV technology to build up models andobserve them being simulated, in whole or in… More

"Aetion Technologies LLC will study the feasibility of applying its SFV decision-support technology to modeling, Monte Carlo simulation, and analysis of depot shop processes. The project will assess whether SFV can be used to model heterogeneous depot shopelements and systems with multiple states at… More

Human ability to attend to a single voice in the presence of background interference is remarkable. If this could be imitated in practical technology it would be of great benefit for automatic speech recognition and other applications. Researchers at OhioState University have demonstrated… More

To develop algorithms, software, and/or hardware necessary to collect, process, and fuse information from multiple sensors based on multiple platforms (XBR, SBIRS, EKV, UEWR) in real time in order to improve acquisition, tracking and discrimination ofthreat objects in a cluttered environment,… More

To support pilot situation awareness for small high-speed submersibles in littoral environments, automatic information fusion is needed that is capable off deriving actionable information from sensor data that is degraded in the manner of sonar data in shallow water. A Phase I project showed the… More

Conventional computational docking typically takes a long time because it has a six-dimensional problem to solve - ligand orientation and ligand position - as well as conformational aspects. Reducing the dimensionality of the problem offers the opportunit

Significant challenges exist related to smartly interviewing multiple people to assess eyewitness accounts and judge how truthful a source is. Aetion proposes applying a powerful form of inference called abduction to help intelligently interview multiple people and compare their corresponding… More

Resource optimization strategies for engaging multi-stage, long-range missiles carrying multiple warheads during the ascent phase is an area of interest to MDA and the larger DoD community. The ability to rapidly predict the outcomes of extremely large numbers of decision permutations is crucial in… More
